I just saw episode 10 of Dungeon ni deai o motomeru only time I'm going to write the full name also know as: Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon? Or short: Danmachi :smile:. So the character Hermes was introduced and I immediatly thought of the greek gods. So I'm going to tell you on which gods they base the characters in Danmachi.
Japanese anime approaches concepts of divinity from a very different background and perspective than most Western media. Japan has two major religions: Shinto and Buddhism. In Shinto, practically anything can contain the essence of a kami a word that has no direct translation in English but can roughly translate to "god" or "spirit". Buddhism, in contrast, doesn't focus on gods but rather the potential enlightenment of human beings, giving it a flexibility to merge with the practice of other religions.
The series is set in the fictional world of Orario, where people join groups called Familia run by gods and goddesses, who serve a range of functions from dungeon crawling to crafting items. After failing to recruit anyone into her group, and Bell being unable to join any of the larger, more reputable Familia s, the two join forces thus beginning their adventures in the series. Hestia has become an extremely popular and somewhat of a breakout character in anime and manga fandom.
